Baron Chedworth

Lord Chedworth, Baron of Chedworth, in the County of Gloucester, was a title in the Peerage of Great Britain. It was created on 12 May 1741 for John Howe, who had earlier represented Wiltshire in Parliament. In 1736 he had succeeded to the estates of his cousin Sir Richard Howe, 2nd Baronet (see Howe Baronets and below). He was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son, John, the second Baron. He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire. He was childless and on his death in 1762 the title passed to his younger brother, Henry, the third Baron. He was unmarried and was succeeded by his nephew, John, the fourth Baron. He was the eldest surviving son of Reverend the Honourable Thomas Howe, younger son of the first Baron. He never married and the title became extinct on his death in 1804.

gollark: What?
gollark: Good news! It turns out that the MPU6050 *does* have drivers which are compatible with the DMP thing and will actually run on the Pi! Unfortunately they are poorly documented C++!
gollark: Also, the robot is mostly disassembled, so it cannot* really be tested in person.
gollark: I have good news regarding the thing, also. The random accelerometer/gyroscope module which seems to be around seems pretty good and should allow rotation™.
